Affected vehicles include model-year 2018-19 Durangos and Grand Cherokees. The aforementioned ABS module malfunction may incorrectly illuminate the brakelights and disable the ABS and electronic stability control. Additionally, the driver may be able to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied. A vehicle that can be started and shifted out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in a rollaway; disabled ABS and electronic stability control can reduce handling; and brakelights that incorrectly illuminate can fail to show the driver’s intentions to those behind. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix is currently under development. Dodge and Jeep parent automaker Stellantis will notify owners Dec. 5, but those with further questions can contact Stellantis at 800-853-1403 (Stellantis’ number for this recall is 94B), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
